A California electrical engineer from Santa Ana, Dianoush Emami has over 37 years working in the safety, quality, and engineering sectors. One of the companies Dianoush Emami worked for in the 1980s was Bechtel Corporation, a company that provides products and services in construction, engineering, and project management.
In May, Bechtel Corporation announced that it had been selected to improve the production of renewable fuels at a plant in California. World Energy selected Bechtel’s SWSPlus technology to clean sour water at its renewable fuels facility in Paramount. Bechtel will also provide engineering support and licensing to improve the environmental performance of World Energy’s water treatment process.
This technology will have three main benefits. The first one relates to reducing nitrous oxide emissions by recovering ammonia and hydrogen sulfide before incineration. The process will culminate in hydrogen sulfide being converted into elemental sulfur, and ammonia can be used in refining or sold. The integration of this technology into the World Energy will allow for greater efficiency in removing ammonia through downstream processing.
